Chapter 290: Reaching a "Consensus"
"Then please do us a favor. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Cao Jingwei said sincerely.
"Hehe, Team Leader Cao laughed, I'm just a newcomer to the national team. How can I help? Feng Quan said with a smile.
"No, of course you can help us." Cao Jingwei said with a little seriousness: "As long as you can go all out to play your full strength in the game against the Dutch team." And it's better to have a goal or an assist or something, that's the biggest help for us. ā
What kind of help? It's like crap. Even if you don't consider the ethereal "sense of honor" of "fighting for the country", and only consider your own personal interests, Feng Quan will definitely go all out in the game. After all, if you release water in the national team's competition, it will affect your business prospects.
Therefore, for Cao Jingwei's so-called "help", there is a feeling that I can't understand. Is it because I just participated in the National Athletics Championships, and he doubts that my professionalism is not good?
"If that's the case, please rest assured. Giving your all in every game is the most basic requirement for a professional footballer. Besides, if I have the privilege of playing in the national team, I will definitely work harder than usual. ā
"You misunderstood, we have absolutely no intention of doubting your professionalism." Hearing that Feng Quan seemed to have misunderstood what he meant, Cao Jingwei hurriedly explained: "We have no doubt that you will deliberately stay in the game, but we hope that you can play according to our requirements." Instead of following the dictates of head coach Camacho. ā
As soon as Cao Jingwei's words fell, Feng Quan's face revealed a strange look.
Although on the face of it, it is true that the power of the national team leader is above the head coach. However, that was only when the domestic coach was in charge of the handsome seal. For foreign coaches, the leader's opinion is just a "reference", not an order that must be carried out.
It is precisely because of this that when Cao Jingwei told himself to obey "us" instead of the stubborn old Spanish man, Feng Quan's heart felt a little inexplicable.
"Team Leader Cao, I don't understand what you mean."
"Oh, that's okay. As long as you are willing to help, I will tell you about our plans alone after this training camp in the capital officially begins. Cao Jingwei said in a relaxed tone.
Although Cao Jingwei did not immediately say what he was going to do, because he was a "traverser". Feng Quan clearly "remembers" that in the last game of this training camp, the Chinese team will lose 1-5 at the feet of the Thai team on June 15, which will cause a series of turmoil, and then finally end the Camacho era of the Chinese team.
Even if there is no clear evidence that the internationals were instructed by "some people" to "deliberately release water" at the feet of the Thai team. However, some "rumors" still indirectly corroborate the existence of "certain people". And Cao Jingwei, who served as the leader of the Chinese national team, was considered by everyone to be the one who came forward for "some people" and instructed the international players to "release water".
Thinking of these, Feng Quan vaguely guessed the real intention of Cao Jingwei's call to him.
However, what made Feng Quan feel a little strange was that Cao Jingwei did not let himself "deliberately release water" in the game, but also let himself do his best in the game. This doesn't make sense.
"Forget it, no matter how much. Anyway, they didn't let me release the water on purpose, so they did as they 'told'. ā
Although Feng Quan himself didn't really want to participate in other people's "conspiracy", he didn't have a good impression of Camacho, and he was still happy to see this stubborn Spanish old man "get out of class......
āāāāāā
In fact, the Football Association has already vaguely conveyed to Camacho the message of "I hope you can take the initiative to resign" after the Chinese team missed the top 10 matches in the Asian region of the World Cup.
However, Camacho is not stupid at all, although he is stubborn. There is even some shrewdness that borders on that of a scoundrel.
Want me to quit early? There are no doors! Unless you pay me a huge amount of liquidated damages, I will not leave the position of head coach of the Chinese team.
Since Camacho's salary is not paid by the Football Association, if the Football Association wants to dismiss this old Spanish man who wants to "play a scoundrel" in advance, the Football Association must first obtain the consent of the "funder" Wonder Group. Otherwise, Camacho's huge liquidated damages will have to be paid by the Football Association itself.
However, when the Football Association approached Wonder Group, the other party refused the request to "wipe the ass" for the Football Association. After all, the candidates recommended by Wonder Group to the Football Association were all rejected by the Football Association for various reasons.
Since Camacho was chosen by your Football Association itself, and we have already helped you pay your salary as agreed, why do you still ask us to wipe your ass for your Football Association?
In desperation, the Football Association was secretly looking for Camacho's successor, while planning how to let Wonder Group "wipe his ass" for himself while firing this "scoundrel".
āāāāāā
On the afternoon of June 7, the relevant personnel of the national team who participated in the match against the Uzbekistan team arrived safely at the Capital International Airport on the flight, and then took a bus to the hotel designated by the Football Association to settle down.
Due to the fact that he had just participated in the race the day before, plus the fatigue of a long flight. Therefore, on the day of arrival in the capital, the national team did not have any training.
After the coaches and players of the national team settled down, Cao Jingwei, the leader of the national team, came to the room where Feng Quan was.
After a few simple greetings, Cao Jingwei went straight to the point.
"In the game against the Netherlands, you're going to come off the bench in the second half and you're probably going to play in a ......" pause, and Cao continued: "It's a very special way to play. ā
Perhaps because he was worried that "the wall has ears", Cao Jingwei deliberately lowered his voice when he said this.
"In a very special way?" Feng Quan looked at the other party with some confusion.
"That's right. But you just have to remember what I say and play according to your habits when you get on the pitch. You may be a winger, but whenever you get the ball up front, your first choice is to break through resolutely, rather than first thinking about linking up with your team-mates or making crosses into the box. ā
"Team Leader Cao, as you said, aren't these exactly my usual game habits? Why do you say you want me to help? Hearing this, Feng Quan's doubts in his heart actually deepened.
"Hehe, I guessed that you must not usually pay much attention to the national team's games." Cao Jingwei said with a smile: "If you follow Camacho's tactical play, it is impossible to give you the right to play freely in the attack." ā
"But if I don't play according to his instructions, he won't replace me immediately?"
"You don't have to worry about that. Camacho's current situation is not much different from the mud bodhisattva crossing the river. I believe that as long as you can play at the level of 80% or 90% in the Bundesliga, it is estimated that the Dutch backline will not be able to do anything about you. At that point, will he still have the guts to replace you? ā
Although Feng Quan already knew in his heart that Camacho was not far from the end of class, he still "knowingly asked": "However, what if he directly excludes me from the squad when he trains for the national team in the future?" ā
"Humph! You don't have to worry about that. Because ......" Cao Jingwei said in a cold tone: "There is not much time left for that stubborn old man......"
āāāāāā
After a night's rest, we went to the Capital Workers' Stadium on the afternoon of June 8 to start the first training session after arriving in the capital.
Although Feng Quan is still selected for the national team for the first time, he is still a newcomer to the team. However, to Fengquan's own surprise, when he appeared in the players' locker room under the leadership of team leader Cao Jingwei, he quickly became the focus of attention.
Even though Zheng Zhi and Sun Xiang, the two "bigwig" players of the national team, did not "take the initiative" to greet Feng Quan like other players, they also cast a kind look at Feng Quan with a smile on their faces.
As for Yang Xu and Yu Hanchao, two former teammates of Feng Quan, after seeing Feng Quan, they volunteered to introduce other teammates to Feng Quan.
In fact, it is normal for Feng Quan to be able to receive such courtesy. Regardless of his excellent performance in the just-concluded Bundesliga, even his aura of double champion at the London Olympics is enough to "blind" the eyes of most international players.
After all, even a "football lover" at the level of a "ticket friend" like Usain Bolt can get the courtesy of a world-class club like Manchester United, not to mention Feng Quan, the "king of sprinting" who has just amazed the world football.
However, unlike the friendliness and excitement of most of the players, the Spanish coaching team led by Camacho showed some "unexpected" indifference to Feng Quan's arrival.
When Feng Quan and his teammates changed into training clothes, came to the sidelines, and greeted Camacho with a smile on his face, the old Spanish man just threw out a sentence "politely": "Wind, welcome to you", and didn't care about the surprise on the faces of Feng Quan and other international players, so he took several other Spanish coaches onto the court and put Feng Quan aside.
After sneering for a while, Feng Quan's eyes unconsciously flashed a trace of fierceness.
"Humph! Since you've done this to me. Then don't blame me......"
Prior to this, although Feng Quan promised Cao Jingwei that he was willing to "cooperate" with him. But in fact, for Cao Jingwei and the people who wanted to force Camacho to leave class, Feng Quan still thought that their approach seemed to be a bit "excessive".
However, when his friendliness only returned to the arrogance of the other party, Feng Quan finally joined the camp of "Inverted Camacho" completely.
In fact, not only the Football Association wants Camacho to "get out" as soon as possible, but the vast majority of players in the national team (except for some players who can only be selected for the national team during Camacho's time) are fed up with the stubbornness and arrogance of the old Spaniard. Especially after the national team failed to break into the top 10 in Asia, the international players have already reached an agreement with the Football Association on the issue of "let Camacho get out".
However, if you think about it from Camacho's point of view, the arrogance and coldness he showed after seeing Feng Quan is actually easy to understand. After all, when he submitted the current national football training squad to the Football Association, he had no intention of recruiting Feng Quan into the team.
Just as parents force their daughters to marry someone they don't like, it is simply impossible to expect the stubborn Camacho to be able to meet the "groom" who accepts his dislike.
āāāāāā
The international players who participated in this training camp are all regulars of the national team, and they just finished the match against Uzbekistan two days ago.
Therefore, when the national team began to conduct technical and tactical exercises, Camacho did not make any tactical arrangements. Instead, he just threw down the phrase: "You just need to train according to the previous tactical requirements", and went straight to the chair on the sideline coach's bench.
Even if there is still Feng Quan, who is not familiar with the team's tactics, and the "newcomer" of the national team, the head coach Camacho and the assistant coach in charge of the team's tactical guidance have not explained the minimum tactical aspects.
"Damn! This makes it clear that I was raised by my stepmother? ā
Feng Quan, who was treated as "air" by the Spaniards, suddenly had an urge to leave the training ground directly.
However, before Feng Quan could put his ideas into action, Fu Bo, a member of the Chinese coaching staff of the national team, quickly pulled Feng Quan to the sidelines under the instruction of Cao Jingwei.
"Ignore them, Daquan. There's not much time left for them anyway. Fu Bo said with some disdain: "Actually, in his set of tactics, the task of the side attackers is just to break through and then cross into the penalty area." So, it makes no difference whether he gives you a separate talk about tactics or not. ā
After a pause, a hint of cunning flashed in Fu Bo's eyes and said, "When it comes to the day of the game, you just need to play as Team Leader Cao instructs." As for the training in the past few days, you can just 'coax him to play', there is no need to be serious with him. ā
Because Fu Bo is a fellow Liaoning villager with himself, and the other party's introverted and easy-going personality also makes people feel very comfortable. So, Feng Quan nodded very face-savingly.
āāāāāā
Although Feng Quan's personal skills are recognized as the strongest in this national team. However, in the last group confrontation exercise of the day, he was "undoubtedly" assigned to the "substitute" group.
However, the "substitute" side that got Feng Quan was "unexpectedly" defeated by Camacho, including Zheng Zhi, Sun Xiang, Feng Xiaoting, Zhang Linpeng, Gao Lin and other strongest domestic players. At the same time, as long as Feng Quanquan appears in one group, the defenders in the other group will experience a "nightmare" 60 minutes (the time for group confrontation practice).
But even so, Feng Quan was left out of the starting line-up for the friendly match between China and the Netherlands......
